Foreman Publishes New Anthology on David Drake
Gabrielle Foreman, Paterno Family Professor of American Literature and Professor of African American Studies and History, has published the edited collection Praise Songs for Dave the Potter: Art and Poetry for David Drake. The collection features pieces responding to and inspired by Drake's work as a potter and poet living under conditions of enslavement in nineteenth-century South Carolina. In conjunction with the book's publication, the Academy of American Poets will be posting several poems from the collection to poets.org, including one written by Foreman herself. Congratulations, Gabrielle, on this acknowledgement of your efforts to bring Drake's poetry (and that of his literary descendants) to wider attention!
